Glenn Parris, expert in Afrofuturism and self-described lifelong sci-fi nerd, his interest in the topic began as a tween, before the term Afrofuturism was even coined.
As a graduate of The Bronx High School of Science, along with Samuel R. Delany, and Neil de Grasse Tyson, he was in good company to have his interests encouraged.
Dr. Parris encompasses his own dichotomy: Rheumatology physician by day, and in his off hours, incorporating that scientific outlook into his creative works writing in the genres of sci-fi, fantasy, and medical mystery.
As one of the too few African-American men practicing medicine, his unique perspective makes the stories he writes compelling, and makes him an engaging speaker.
Welcome to his website where we share his latest works, appearances, and current works in progress. We hope you’ll choose to get onboard, and keep on riding along with his many Trains of Thoughts.
